Strength | Banda Sunato
Tumblr media
Pairing: Banda Sunato x Fem!Reader
Author's note: Hi, my exams are not over yet haha, but I'll just drop this here for those interested.
I try to make it readable as a standalone fic but there is a part 1 and (part 2).
Word count: 2.1k
Warnings: Weird relationship (it's Banda, a serial killer), Violence? (Still aib), potential spelling/grammar mistakes? And soft Banda idk, suggestive themes but no mature content
Summary: Banda Sunato takes his girl to the Jack of Hearts game and is impressed by her strength.
---------------------------------------
You were falling. A pit formed in your stomach from the suddden height difference you were experiencing and it left you wondering if this is what one of those attractions at the amusement park felt like. You only knew that people descibed it as moving down in the elevator and felt that this was indeed an accurate analogy.
You hadn’t willingly dropped youself off the edge of the building, but were trying to escape the other player who had tried to steal your key and you fiercly hoped Banda knew that as well. Well, you weren’t really in any danger anyway, you thought to yourself. Luck is always on your side, right?
And sure enough, your dress got caught by a street light hanging from the side of the building, which slowed down your fall. You threw a glance beneath you and sighed at the moment of impact. A convenient a trash container filled with soft trash bags allowed you to survive without a scratch again.
“Thanks”, you said out loud to no one in particular.
You looked around. Now the real issue is going to be trying to get out of the container and back into the building without touching the floor. Though you had faith in your unrealistic luck, you knew the rules of the game and were not going to test your luck either.
The main problem was that someone did take away the key that you had to find, meaning you had to find another one if you wanted to leave the premise alive again.
And just as you thought about it, a key fell into your lap. You couldn't help but laugh. Someone up there was really overdoing it huh. It's kind getting unfair at this point, you thought amusedly right before a rope dropped into your lap.
You looked up in surprise. “Sunato!” You happily exclaimed when you saw his head hanging out the window.
“There’s four minutes left, hurry up and tie it around your waist.”
“I knew I’d be fine,” was the first this that left your mouth when Banda pulled you inside through the window. His hands stayed in a firm grip around your wrist but he shrugged.
“I know. You wouldn’t leave me.” He stated in a whisper in your ear when he leaned in to undo the knot in the rope around your waist.
“Where did you get this new key from? Did you find it or steal it?” You couldn’t help but ask. He smiled. “Whichever makes you sleep better tonight.” He answered humorously, looking down on you. You swatted his chest with a frown.
“Not the old lady though, right?”
“No, that would upset you.” He reassured you.
You huffed and grabbed his hand. “You better know it.”
He lead you out the room the same way he got in. Across several chairs, a table, a matrass laying on the floor, a dead body that you recognised as the guy who stole your key, and then onto the handrail of the stairs to slide to the floor below.
You held your breath and pulled up your feet, careful to not let the strange synthetic material of the game-specific shoes go within an inch of the floor where you could see a sheen of red light of lasers.
You didn’t really know what this relationship was between you and Banda, you realised while walking away from the game venue in silence, still hand in hand with him. You were partners, as he called it. He’d made it pretty clear two months ago that you were to stay by his side because you were his. In return he kept his promise and introduced a variety of things to you. Lots of things happened in the past two months and despite everything, you stayed.
Even after getting the opportinity to leave when you were both taken to some warehouse by the brother of one of Banda’s victims in the real world. The unknown man had let you go after beating you up and ‘confirming’ that you were just Banda’s next victim. You’d played along, walking out with a relieved face and then came back with a gun. You weren’t planning on killing anyone, just wanted to scare them.
When Banda was released however, he had ripped the gun from your hands, turned you to face him to pull you into a kiss, and pulled the trigger. You’d been upset with him for a while and he'd sworn to you that he had only killed the guy for your sake.
Everything was for you. Killing the innocent lady because she was slowing everyone down, including you. Killing the two creepy men because he sensed that they made you uncomfortable. Killing the person that tried to stab him, not for attempted murder on him, because that person tried to take him away from you.
In a sick way, it made you feel safe and cared for. So of course you stayed. And though you weren’t sure of what your relationship with Banda was exactly, you were happy, you decided.
You were slumped half on top of him, your face in the crook of his neck. He had one arm wrapped around you while the other was drawing circles on your bare back. “Why is it so noisy outside?” you grumbled.
Gunshots? No, it's more... sparkly. After taking a moment to let your brain wake up as well, you sat up straight. “Is that firework?” You asked Banda, and glanced down at him to see that he was enjoying looking at your chest. You covered yourself with your arms and opened your mouth to repeat the question when he answered.
“Someone cleared the 10 of hearts game. They announced that the next stage of face cards will start at 12 noon tomorrow.” His eyes flickered across your face and he was pleased to note your excitement which matched his own.
You jumped up from the bed and ran to the window to admire the fireworks lighting up the sky. The view from this hightower apartment was perfect. “Sunato, do I get to pick the first game?” You asked and pleadingly looked at him.
He’d gotten up as well and was standing behind you, chest pressed to your back. “Which one interests you?” He asked before he dipped his head down to your neck to start a trail of kisses. His lips curled up in a smile when you responded.
“We could start with a jack of hearts.”
You slept until you heard loud bangs. This time it was gunshots for sure. Banda looked alert and you quickly slipped on a new unripped dress while Banda went to grab a knife from the kitchen. When you looked to your left, you saw a card move by. The king of spades?
You made the mistake of walking towards the window and looked out it. Before you could even register the enormous blimp moving past the building, you were met with a barrage of bullets.
Despite having closed your eyes, moved your arms in front of your face and having ducked, your eyes were stinging with pain.
Banda, who heard the gunshots, followed by your screams, ran in while avoiding bullets and grabbed you under your arms. He proceeded to practically drag you across the floor to another room.
Banda grabbed your face despite your whimpering. There was glass in your hair and you had gashes all over your face. Some were quite deep like the one across your eyelids with more pieces of glass stuck inside them. Blood was dripping from your wounds into your eyes.
He quickly scanned you up and down to check for bullet wounds andd when he found none, he shook his head in relief. He then chuckled. Despite everything, your dress was still spotless.
"My eyes feel like they're getting stabbed", you choked out.
Banda nodded, not that you'd be able to see it, and went to wipe your face clean as best as he could. The king of spades had stopped firing at the apartment. He probably moved on to find new targets.
Banda opened your eyes forcibly and saw that they were bloodshot. You jerked your head out of his grasp and clamped your eyes shut again.
The gash on your eyelid had reopened when you opened your eyes and blood started seeping into your eyes again.
"I'm going to wrap bandages around your head. Keep your eyes close." He instructed and you did as he told you. "It's going to be alright though, isn't it Sunato?" You asked, trying to get some reassurance.
"I'm not a doctor." He said. Well there goes faith.
Unbothered Banda continued. "We need to make way towards the jack of hearts venue. We'll be safe from the king of spades there."
You shook your head. "I can't see though, I'm going to be a bother." You felt him grasp your hand and he pulled you up.
"I promised you that you're safe with me. Trust me." He said. "This just makes things more interesting, alright?"
You thought about it for a moment. "Well if you put it like that," you laughed. "I guess you're right. It's a new experience for sure."
Banda sqeezed your hand in agreement and as if to say he was impressed by your ability to stay strong. Your hold onto his hand tightened as he lead you to the streets in the direction of the blimp wiith the jack of hearts card.
Even though you'd seen death before and weren't nearly as bothered by it as you should be, he found comfort in the fact that you couldn't see the scattered bodies across the street.
"Are we there?" you asked. The two of you had stopped walking. "What does it look like."
"It's a prison. This will make for an interesting game." He said and you could hear him smirk. Banda pulled you along. "Let's go."
The voice registered you two entering and started giving out instructions. Despite the bandages that covered your eyes, the phone was still able to go through with facial recognition.
With the collars in place, you and Banda moved up to the central area.
"Guess the suit on the back of your collar after each round." The voice explained and you whipped your head into Banda's direction. "I will try to open my eyes and tell you your suit." You immediately said to him.
"No". He immediately interjected. "It's going to be fine. You're a human lucky charm after all."
You nodded your head and listened to the rest of the explainations of the game. When it ended, people immediately started to group up and you were starting to get anxious again. How was Banda going to guess his suit correctly?
Just as you were stressing about it, a voice behind you interrupted your thought process.
"She can't tell you your suit so I'll tell you yours if you tell me mine."
You frowned and were about to ask him who he thinks he is for adressing Banda so directly and impolitely, but Banda spoke up before you could.
He let go of your hand and stepped forwards to what you guessed was the new guy. Though you disliked the guy's tone, you hoped Banda would accept his help as he needed someone to tell him his suit. You released your breath when he did.
Banda introduced you as his partner and the guy introduced himself as Matsushita. They told you your suit and started to tell eachother their suits.
"I'm going to get something to eat" you announced and put a few steps into a random direction when you realised you had no idea where you were walking to. It had been a while since you've been this helpless, you thought to yourself bitterly. So when Banda put his hand on your lower back to guide you, you snapped at him. Annoyed because it reminded you of your life before the borderlands. Always men in suits guiding you back inside the building, watching your every move.
"I'm sorry Sunato" you immediately apologized afterwards. "I wanna go on my own." You explained and he seeemed to understand. "Follow the wall to your left. Keep going straight." He simply replied. You nodded and walked off.
"These cookies are really good." You heard coming from beside you. You hadn't realised you sat down at a table next to someone else. You felt the stranger push a package of cookies in your hand.
"Thanks." You said, gratefully.
Thinking about it, you hadn't actually conversed with anyone in the past month except for Banda.
You nodded his way as a thank you and got up. Before you could leave the room, he called after you. "You should disinfect those wounds. Wash out your eyes and get rid of the glass. It's also better not to cover your eyes with a bandage, let it breathe." Chishiya didn't know why he said that. Maybe because you seemed familiar. He'd ponder about that one for a while.
You followed his advise and had Banda help you. It benefited you to walk around without bandages because you were able to discern light and dark.
When the hour passed, Banda walked you to a cell. "Sunato" you called to him. "See you in a moment." You felt a pat on your head in response.
"Well then, please state your suit."
You sighed relaxedly. You trusted Banda so this was easy for you. "Diamond."
For a second nothing happened and then the door behind you buzzed. You stepped back, stumbled over your own feet and fell the the floor. "Fuck" you whispered as you got up and hopped on your right leg while you clutched your left ankle.
The door behind you was ripped open. Before you could turn around and ask who it was, you felt Banda hold you. His heart was beating fast and you realised you must've worried him by not exiting immediately.
"I knew I'd be fine." You said and turned around to him. "You wouldn't leave me."
Banda grabbed you by your neck, pressed his lips against yours aggressively and pushed you against the wall, his other hand on the back of your head to brace the impact.
You reciprocated the kiss and wrapped your arms around him, while his moved and lifted your dress up. His hands roamed your body and finally settled on your sides, pressing himself against you.
Matsushita had seen Banda rush in your cell and was now patiently waiting outside for the both of you. He jumped at the sounds that came from inside, and when he looked through the small gap in the door which confirmed his suspicions, his eyes widened before immediately averting them and hurrying away.
'So they're partner-partners', he thought to himself, and he shook his head, trying to shake the image away.

And the saints regarded peasants
From their stone facade
And they felt their gaze
As if it were the eyes of God
----
Making Rome an Ace in my cardverse came with certain difficulties, since Aces - are the Saint Patrons of kingdoms, some sort of local Gods. So I didn't want to waste this opportunity, not implementing this fact in both Itabros. After couple days of brainstorm, I decided to make them both a god descendents, whose sole task is to resolve the coming global threat and direct the events of fate according to the divine plan, while not letting the humans reveal themselves. For this plan to work, they needed at least some power on their hands, so they are both members of the royal court. But Feli's luck was more generous, helping him to become the Jack of Hearts. Lovi was not so lucky and managed to only become the Six of Diamonds

can we talk about how the jack of hearts game with the prison in Alice In Borderland is the most fucked up game you could end up in?
sure there are more physically painful games but the Jack of hearts game is destroying you emotionally enough to lose your mind.
not only do you have to kill someone in order to make it out alive(and even then your win is not guaranteed at all), every single second you are trapped there you will second guess everything you hear.
up until the second you survive or die you have no idea if you'll win or not.
you can be the most confident person in the world and this game will still eat your mind because you HAVE to rely on someone else in order to survive, and STILL it might not be enough.
you are trapped with a bunch of strangers, and you see them all losing their patience and minds because the human body isn't made to be quarantined.
on top of that you can't even fall asleep. and if you do you won't ever be able to enter rem due to the fact that you have to guess every hour.
this is literally considered torture.
and then you have Chisiya, not losing his confidence and patience for one second and he even found a way to figure out the traitor and expose them.
you cannot tell me that he isn't the smartest character in that universe.
this game was absolutely genius and nerve wracking to watch.
Alice In Borderland is untouchable.
Mad respect.

Disney villain recruiters!! They are incredibly goofy but I love their costuming.
If you're not familiar with these characters, good job at not being as terminally online as me I guess!! :') They're semi-improv characters that (used to?) show up at Tokyo Disneysea at Halloween and try to "recruit" park visitors to villainy.
PRETTY NICHE CONTENT so of course I've been wanting to draw them forever. I've missed a couple (the Aladdin and Hunchback themed ones) so idk if I'll come back and add those one day but for now this is it..
